Dear List, Is there an idomatic way of converting an implicit makefile rule to a CMakeLists construct? Currently I'm resorting to writing a macro which processes list variables with foreach and adds various linked custom targets but I'm finding lots of confusion when passing lists as arguments to macros.
I tried the following: macro (MakeCustomTarget TARGET_FILE CPP XML) add_custom_target(TARGET_FILE ALL COMMAND process ${TARGET_FILE} ${CPP} COMMAND process ${TARGET_FILE} ${XML}) message(STATUS "Cannot find xgettext") endmacro (MakeCustomTarget TARGET_FILE CPP XML) calling MakeCustomTarget("TargetFile" ${LIST1} ${LIST2}) where LIST1 and LIST2 are semi-colon separated lists causes the first two elements of whatever the LIST1 was to get passed as CPP and XML - I had to resort to quoting the arguments and then turning them back in to lists with a set. macro (MakeCustomTarget TARGET_FILE CPP XML) set(CPP_LIST ${CPP}) set(XML_LIST ${XML}) add_custom_target(TARGET_FILE ALL COMMAND process ${TARGET_FILE} ${CPP_LIST} COMMAND process ${TARGET_FILE} ${XML_LIST}) endmacro (MakeCustomTarget TARGET_FILE CPP XML) MakePot("project.pot" "${LIST1}" "${LIST2}") Is this behavior expected? I'm running Debian Lenny and Cmake 2.6-patch0 Thanks, Nick Davidson ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
